The SSA-7161-OCR-SM is the questionnaire used in the Foreign Enforcement Program (FEP)
for all child beneficiaries and adult beneficiaries with representative payees. In
addition to its use as an enforcement questionnaire, the SSA-7161-OCR-SM is used to
obtain accountings from payees. (Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 are the accounting questions.)
An English-language questionnaire is sent to each payee annually or as requested by
SSA.
Instructions for completing the questionnaire are also included with the mailing of
the SSA-7161-OCR-SM. The instructions are printed in English and 10 other languages
(French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish
and Swedish). The foreign-language instructions are sent with the questionnaires to
the countries where the foreign languages are widely spoken. See RS
02655.005B. for a list of these countries and foreign languages.
